MOUNTING UP.

A clear sky and swept horizon has had
 it's effect-a stimulating efeet-upon the
 multitude of buyers of clothing. The de-
 mand is more eager, the search becomes more persistent with every days approach to Junos rosy month. It is evident that we have what the people wish to get away from us, for they lay down their money cheerful ly, and go their ways satisfied, and attired
 according to the law of sense and good taste.
 Trade mounts up rapidly and is due to the
 apparent and real value of the goods we
 sell, and to our adherence to fact in repre-
 senting them. The word bargain" is overworked, and is often misnomer, but it is a great saver of speech, and means much, and in our use of it we intend it shall have true and full mean ing. Our customers find that we offer "bar- gains" of indisputable value in every depart ment. The styles of our suits-both of pat tern, of cloth, and of cut, and adjustment are the latest and most attractive. And with out exception, they please, not only at the time of purchase, but through all wear. The | times are propitious, and in the coming week great progress will be made in redressing the people. Saturdays full tide swept through
 every department. Mems Business and Dress Suits $50 to
 $650.

A HIGH LICENSE LAW.

The high license law which has been made by the Pennsylvania legislature does not pro- vide for SO large license fee as do some of the high license laws. It makes the yearly license fee $500 for cities of 300,O00 popula- ton and over, $400 for smaller cities, $2O0 for boroughs and $100 for country taverns. Perhaps it's most notable feature is the sec- ton relating to what man who wants li- cense to sell intoxicating liquors must go through before he gets it.
 Persons intending to apply for licenses must file their petitions three weeks in ad
 vance of the opening of the county court of quarter sessions by which the licenses are to be granted, and must pay $5 at the same time to the clerk to cover advertising and other expenses. The clerk must have the names of all petitioners and their places of business adVeIti--1 three times in two newspapers designated by the courv, 1-~a+ fifteen days before the hearing of the peti- tion. The petition must declare that the applicant is not in any manner pecuniarily interested in the profits of the business con ducted at any other place in said county
 where any of said liquors are sold or kept for sale; that the applicant is the only per
 son in any manner pecuniarily interested in
 the business so asked to be licensed, and
 that no other person shall be in any manner
 pecuniarily interested therein during the continuance of the license. The petition must also contain the names of not less than two reputable freeholders of the ward or township where the liquor is to be sold who will be su1eties on the bond which is re- quired, and a statement that each of said sureties is a bona fde owner of real estate ir the said county worth over and above all in cumbrances the sum of $2, 900, and that il 1 would sell for that much at public sale, and l that he is not engaged in the manufacture ot spirituous, vinous, malt or brewed liquors The petition must be verified by affidavit o1 applicant made before the clerk of the court magistrate, notary public or justice of ths peace, and if any false statement is made 1T any part of the petition, the applicant or ap' plicants shall be deemed guilty of the crime of perjury and upon indictment and convic
 tion shall be subject to it's penalties. And in addition to all this each petition must be 1 accompanied with a certificate ''signed by at
 least twelve reputable qualified electors ot
 the ward, borough, or township, certifying to the truth of the statements in the peti- | tion and praying that the licenses may be issued" And before receiving the license
 the applicant must file an approved bond for
 5000 with two approved sureties, condi-
 tiored on the faithful observance of the law.
 Any Pennsylvania man who gets license
 to sell liquor under these conditions will be
 likely to be as fit a man for such purpose
 as there is. But they are none too severe.

FEMININE UNDKKOL0rHEs.

The Latest Foreign Fashions fin Chem
 Ises, Petticoats and Night Gowns.
 From the Court Journa1.l
 Mime. Julie Swaebe has just returned from Paris with every kind of novelty in the way of dress that the most fastidious bride could desire. Many of the convents here and abroad are working hard to keep the firm supplied, and the results are perfect chefs d'puvres in underlinen, all hand made, of the very best materials, with exquisiteslace, and arranged in the very latest fashion.
 The chemises are made with very short sleeves, the necks variously trimmed, some square, some round with work and lace insertion, through which arrow colorsd ribbons are run, and suf6ci ently ornamental to serve for dress bodices almost. The drawers are made to match, and very large in the leg Valenciennes is the leading lace employed, but there is also new guipure, in which the finest tatting unites the embroidery. Quite the newest idea is alternate squares of lace and work, an inch square. The skill of French fingers is shown by the clever way in which the trimmings on the chemises display the neck off to greatest advan- tage.
 The nightgowns are no longer simple garments, but pretty and becoming. One of soft pink silk, for example, made with a Wattesu p1ait on the back, had a tucked yoke, trimmed with lace, thick lace frill down the front and round the neck, lace ruff1es at the wrist. Some of these Parisian nightgowns have quite shallow yokes, con- posed entirely of lace insertion, the sleeves to the elbow of stripes of the same, and from elbow to wrist silk tucks alternate with insertion; the lower part on many rows of insertion going round the arm. In the white nightgowns much fine veining work is introduced, all made by hand. The old fashioned frllls worn on our grandfathers' shirts are now adapted to nightgowns, which are tribute to the skill of modern needle women.
 The new dress petticoats are made short marked improvement, for elaborately trimmed as they are, the trains could hardly be worn many times. They are made often with three inch wide lace insertion in hori- zontal rows, and a new kind of lace called point de Paris is employed. Like all the laces used in lingerie, it is of yellow cream tint, not ecru; it has a wire ground, with large bold flowers. A good deal of imitation and real Mechlin is also used on these pettl- coats. The trimming on back and front are mostly different; the lace and insertion are placed horizontally in the one and perpen- dlcularly in the other, but frequently div heads most of these tucks, and the edge of the skirt is composed of row upon row of lace. Wide ribbon is threaded sometimes through the 1nsertian and sometimes the petit coat itself is made ot spotted muslin; indeed, all and every one of these elaborates skirts would serve as dresses with fashionable tea jacket or matinee.

monkeys, the destruction of which is very large. The hyena is credited with the de- struction of 773 head of cattle.

At recent meeting of the Pekin Oriental
 society in London Mir. Owen read paper on animal worship among the Chinese. He re- ferred to the worship paid to the fox, weasel, hedgehog and snake, to which at Tientsin is added the rat. The first four are called the immortals These deifed animals seem to usurp the entire attention of the people, even to the exclusion of the Buddhist and Taoist gods. Dr. Edkins quoted from the Chinese to prove that animal worship was unknown in ancient times, while Dr. Dudgeon pointed out that it was mistake to suppose that ani- nal worship was confined to the four animals
 mentioned. The horse, COW, dog, insects, dragon, lion, etc., are worshipped. In the fifth month the centipede, lizard, scorpion, frog and snake-the five poisonous animals,
 as they are called-are also objects of wer- ship.
 Last week ex-Mayor Prince of Boston, the chairman of the Boston Indian Citizen ship committee, received telegram from President Cleveland asking him to come at once to Washington on business concerning the land in severalty act. MT. Prince went and has laid before the President the views and plans of the committee with reference
 to that business. The purpose is to have on the ground, in every tribe to which it is proposed to have it's lands assigned in severalty under the act, repre- sentatives of the committee in whom the Indians will have confidence, and who are competent to advise them as to the selection of land and to protect them against fraud or any invasion of their rights. It is the inten- ton to secure for each tribe an educated In | dian of that tribe who will be a | trustworthy interpreter and will be recog- | nized by the Indians as friendly, and also 8 | white man who has some knowledge of the value of land and of surveying, who can ad- wise as to the choice of lots and give assur- ance that the measurement is correct This | is sensible.

 Rich men are apparently not growing richer as fast as they were. The terms upon which the new municipal bods of New York city have been foated are decidely sugges- tive. Though they are to bear only per cent. interest, they were readidly disposed of at 4.6 premium, the highest price ever bid for city securities of so low an interest rate.
 The trial of mellinite, the new French ex- plosive of which so much was expected, has not resulted very satisfactorily. It was sup posed that the explosion of one of the mel finite shells, in consequence of it's impact against the side of an ironclad, would cause the destruction of the heaviest armed vessel afloat, but in the trial that took place at Toulon mellinite shells were exploded against the sides of condemned ironclad, built more than twenty years ago, and failed to produce any marked results.
 General Elmer, who was one of the assist ant postmaster-generals under the Republi- can administrations, lately had occasion to visit Washington, and he called at the Post office department to pay his respects to his successor. Of course he was asked to go the rounds of the department, and, while doing so, was astonished to still find on duty Re- publican clerk whom he had appointed at the request of Republican senator. "Hello!" said General Elmer, going up to the clerks desk, ''you here stilla" 'Yes," said the clerk, "durned still"
 The total number of persons killed by wild animals and venomous snakes in the ten di- visions of Bengal during the official year 1855-86 was the highest in the last five years, and amounted to il ,s23.

Bridal Wells and Orange Blossoms.

Bridal Wells and Orange Blossoms [From All the Year Round.l The custom of the bride wearing veil or the occasion of her wedding is without doubt of eastern origin. Among Anglo-Saxons il was held over the heads of the bride and bridegroom to hide the blushes of the happy lady from the company. This little compli ment was not paid to widow on her remar' riage, as her bushes were supposed to hay, been exhausted. This custom was gradually superseded by the eastern and more graceful practice of wearing long, sweeping, gauzy veils.
 How the orange blossom first came to be used at marriages is yelled in obseurity. In France this custom is a matter of much pride and importance, inasmuch as it is 8 testimonial of purity, not only of the bride herself, but of integrity and morality in the character of her relatives.
 In the province of Franche Comte, to wear the orange blossom is considered sacred right, obtained by undeubted character, and as such proudly maintained. Should any act of imprudence in early hfe' lmpiylng even a suspicion of taint upon the honor of the maiden be known, the use of the orange blossom is sternly forbidden.
 Tn almost every village or small town in France the bride entitled to wear the crown of orange blossoms has this beautiful certi6- cate of her purity either framed or placed under glass shade, and it is religiously pre-. served if possible, even through generations, as an indisputable testimonial of undoubted character.
 In Germany the duties of the bridesmaid have just tinge of superstition about them. Tt is one of their duties on the morning of the marriage day to carry to the bride myr- tie wreath, for which they had subscribed on the previous evening. This they place on her head and at night remove it, when it is placed in the brides hand, she being at the time blindfolded. The bridesmaids then dance around her, while she endeavors to place the wreath on one of their heads. Whoever is fortunate enough to be thus dec orated will, it is believed, be herself wife before another year has passed away.
 In removing the bridal wreath and veil the bridesmaids are careful to throw away every min. or the bride will be overtaken by mis- fortune: while any unwary bridesmaid who retains one of these useful little articles will materially lessen her chances of 'getting off,"
 Like many other German superstitions, this has found it's way into England, though it has not yet become general belief.

RULLFIGHTING ON SPLITS.

Courage and Nerve of 8 Young Wo
 man.
 lParyal, Mexico, Correspondence of the Omaha
 Republican,
 In the next contest the fair Castilian was under an advertised obligation-while still wearing stilts-te kill the bull with g sword scarcely more than two feet in length. This was to be done by the Toreadora at the time the animal was making a charge, the fatal thrust to be given while she was directly in front of and fairly facing the bull. The an- inal selected for the contest was beautiful specimen of his race. Black as a coal, agile as cat, savage and wild. He was no sooner within the arena than he was ready for the battle. After he had been permitted to make charge or two to warm him to his work, the Governor, who presided on the oc- casion, gave signal and the bugle sounded the ''death call" The senorita, with stilts of one foot in height securely fastened to her limbs, received the short sword-saluted the Governor-and, turning to her enemy, gave shout of defiance and waved her scar let cloak to rouse his anger. At this time the distance separating the antagonists was about two hundred feet. Toro, quivering with excitement and paving the earth in his rage. waited for no second invitation. With flashing eyes and head lowered to the ground, he started at full speed for the object of his hate. The brave girl waited until the beast was within twenty feet, when, bracing her self firmly, she held her sword at shoulder height ready for his coming. When within four feet she threw her body suddenly for ward, gave quick thrust with the sword, and without waiting to see the effect ot the blow, swung quickly around and again salu- ted the Governor. In the twinkling of an eye she turned to face the bull, and as she did so he dropped dead so close to her that, without changing her position, she placed her foot upon the neck of her now helpless enemy. The sword directed by the strong arm of the self-possessed girl, had severed the spinal cord, and death was instantaneous and probably painless.
 It was a perilous feat skillfully and fear 1essly performed, and the slightest nervous ness on the part of the performer would probably have resulted in her death. The great audience, in recognition of the skill of the brave Toreadora, rose to it's feet and for several moments there was shower of gold and silver coin falling around the victorious girl.
